@IBMResearch I just found out about it today. I read up on how you guys trained the model. Much respect!
Building a custom harness for the granite-4.2-8b-bf16.gguf model.
Astra is BEHIND MUSE SPARK 1.3 MAX ON ARTIFICIAL ANALYSIS???
I was starting to get skeptical of their intelligence index, but there's no way I can trust this anymore
Iβd rather companies build robots that look like they were thrown together by a tornado in a junkyardβcheap to make in America, easy to replace, and good enough to get the job doneβthan produce overpriced hardware trapped in simulations because it's too expensive to break.
